A video of a Southern California high school history teacher referring to military members as the “frickin’ lowest of our low” during a classroom rant has gone viral, sparking widespread outrage.
In the video, El Rancho High teacher Gregory Salcido, who is also a Pico Rivera City council member, says military members are failed students who had no other choice but to serve.
"Think about the people you know who are over there," Salcido is heard saying in the recording.
"Your freakin' stupid Uncle Louie or whatever. They're dumb sh*ts. They're not high-level bankers. They're not academic people. They're not intellectual people."
"They're the freakin' lowest of our low."
He is also seen asking why military recruiters are allowed to visit the school.
"We don't allow pimps to come into school," he said.
